Upit Upma, Uppittu, Sajjige, Uppuma, Uppumavu, Uppindi, Uppittu, Kharabath, Upeet are the numerous names of the simple dish.
Upit |Upma can be fancied up enough to win a contest or kept simple to suit the tastes of your in-laws.
In case you are wondering about the contest I am referring to the Top Chef Masters Season 3 where Floyd Cardoz made Upma from Sooji and mushrooms to the theme Food Memories.
Upma originated in the Indian subcontinent and is nothing but a thick porridge of semolina/suji or coarse rice flour. The root of Upma is Uppa|salt and mavva|flour. Since Upma is customisable it is most popular in various parts of India.
Basically, the only Upit popular in my place is the rava/sooji/semolina one but you can make Upma from Dalia, Rice Rava or coarse rice flour, vermicelli, corn.
The veggies you add are your choice like onions, cauliflower, potatoes, peas, corn, capsicum, tomatoes.
But In Dharwad, my hometown where the only snack or breakfast item that is offered to guests we make a no onion version too where the chef may add cabbage, cucumber, ginger in addition to the other veggies I mentioned above.
Like I have said earlier Uppittu as it is called in my hometown Dharwad is the staple snack. But in Dharwad Uppitu is never made from the finer rava called Bombay Rava we use the coarser Kesari Rava.
The beauty of Kesari Rava is you roast it but with homemade ghee the smell and taste of the Uppitu is delicious. Also, the rava needs more water to cook however the Upma that you get from it is dry and the grains separate not like the one I have shown here.
I will definitely prefer my Upma grains separate but the rest of the family(read Husband) does not like it. They are used to the softer paste-like Upma. Rather than rock the boat early in the morning I make what everyone eats.
The other Upit|Upma you can make are

Vegetarian Zest says
Upma is our all time favorite. Usually make it for breakfast though. Loved your recipe.
Mayuri Patel says
I love upma and prefer using the coarse sooji that is available in Bangalore. I usually add loads of vegetables to make it into a wholesome meal. For hubby and me its one of our light dinner options. Now adding mushrooms to it, that sounds good.
ArchanaPotdar says
Thanks, Mayuri I know of Aunty who added prawns too.
Jayashree T.Rao says
One of the easiest breakfast that we can make and tastes good when it is served hot.. I have never made with cucumber in it, though I do without onion at times.
ArchanaPotdar says
The cucumber I am talking about Jayashree is the green slender one.
Renu says
One of our favourite breakfast . Loved your idea of sneaking so many vegetables in this to feed fussy eaters. Wholesome breakfast or meal
ArchanaPotdar says
Thanks, Renu.
Poonam Bachhav says
Upit is one of the loved breakfast in my family. I add many veggies and peanuts to make it wholesome but never tried adding cabbage to it . Will try your version next time.
ArchanaPotdar says
😀 Thanks,Poonam.
Seema says
Personally I love smooth rava upit su h a comfort, but in the morning it gets the house divided! I this this veggie loaded version will be more acceptable at ours.
ArchanaPotdar says
😀 I cannot stand the smooth one. 😀
Jayashree T.Rao says
Uppit with vegetables is tasty and filling. It is a life saviour on busy days, you can make it in a few minutes.
ArchanaPotdar says
😀
Priya Vj says
Soulful and the best breakfast when made properly else it is a total disaster . I love vegetable upma especially with lot of green peas 🙂 love the use of colored bell pepper .
